Species Pecten tenuicostatus Hupé 1854



Discussion / Comments:
Griffin & Nielsen (2008):
TYPE MATERIAL. Holotype housed in the Typothèque of the Laboratoire de Géologie under number MNHN-Gg2002/55 (a well preserved right valve). REMARKS. This species is quite common in Tubul, but not so in Chiloé. Philippi (1887) had doubts about Hupé’s (Hupé 1854) reference of Chiloé as the locality and believed it did not occur further south of Tubul. However, such a southward range was confirmed by Frassinetti and Covacevich (1995, p. 53) who recorded it from Guamblín Island. All shell features of this species indicate it belongs in Zygochlamys and it was synonymised with the extant Z. patagonica (King & Broderip, 1832) by Nielsen & Valdovinos (submitted). Zygochlamys patagonica is the type species of Psychrochlamys Jonkers, 2003, which we consider a synonym of Zygochlamys Ihering, 1907 [type species Pecten geminatus Sowerby, 1846, see above].
